McCain and the GOP on the defensive (review)

Some folks have been looking at the voting records of both candidates in this year’s Presidential race - seems a little unfair. If you think that everyone votes with reason only, you’re mistaken. But, hey, when news is in short supply, you go for the jugular with what you’ve managed to dig up from the past.

Looks that McCain has been voting against laws to force medical insurance companies to fund contraceptives. The argument is one of gender discrimination. The same insurers pay for Cialis when men ask for their pills. Why are women denied their pills when the men are back in action? “Ah ha,” you say, “these are two different things. Men need the pills to get back to work. Women are working just as God intended without the pills, thank you very much.”

Cialis is not a treatment for a life-threatening condition. Birth control pills reduce the loss of menstrual blood so less anemia, reduce the risk of cancer in the reproductive system, reduce the pain of menstrual cramps and eliminate acne. But there are no health benefits in the eyes of the insurance companies.

Well, since Cialis works so well, this is adding to the world’s chronic overpopulation at a time when global warming is reducing food and water supplies. Millions of children die every year from malnutrition, thousands of women die from back-street abortions gone wrong. Go figure.
